　　One day, after I got home, the police suddenly came and arrested(逮捕)my parents．I was 　　4　　 to death! I held on to my brother and sister as we were 　　5　　 a children's home．

　　When I got to the end of the hallway, there stood Mrs．Abshere! She held her arms out to me．“Honey, I know 　　9　　is better than your mom, but I love you, too!” I hugged her and 　　10　　 thanked God for bringing this angel thirty miles out of her way to see me．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

　　Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it's cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit(限速)?

　　If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant．The first blind man who felt the elephant's trunk(象鼻)said it was like a snake．The second who felt the elephant's side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear(矛)as he touched the animal's tusk．The fourth, who took hold of the elephant's tail insisted that it was like a rope．The fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant's legs．The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant's ears, said it was like a huge fan．

　　Each man's idea of the animal came from his own experience．So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it's often because his experience in the matter is different from yours．

　　To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment．Get three large bowls．Put ice water in one．Put hot water in the second．Put lukewarm water(温水)in the third．Now put your left hand in the hot water．Put your right hand in the lukewarm water．Your right hand will tell you the water is cold．Your left hand will tell you ________ it is hot．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

　　Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school．However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days．"Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair? " she wondered．Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!

　　What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her．Most people don't like talking with strangers(陌生人)．So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know．The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first．Make eye contact with them and smile at them．When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going? " In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship．

　　When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates．Guess what happened? It really worked．She had made two friends by the end of the month．

　　In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard．And the joy it brings you is really great．So try to open your heart to strangers!

　　Modern life is impossible without traveling．The fastest way of traveling is by plane．With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago．

　　Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages(优势)．You can see the country you are traveling through．Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining－cars．They make even the longest journey enjoyable．

　　Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible．There are large planes and river boats．You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them．Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday．

　　Many people like to travel by car．You can make your own timetable．You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like．You can stop wherever you wish－where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night．That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business．

Having Fun "Growing" and "Stealing"?

　　Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students．People can "farm" on a piece of "land" and "grow", "sell" or even "steal" "vegetables", "flowers" and "fruits" on the Net．They can earn some e－money and buy more "seeds", "pets" and even "houses",

　　Joyce interviewed some young people．Here are their opinions．

　　Harold：I don't quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game．Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world．

　　Allan：I enjoy putting some "bugs" in my friends' gardens and we've become closer because of the game．Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it．

　　Laura：You know, people in the city are longing for(渴望)the life in the countryside．It reduces my work pressure(压力); besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a "thief"．

　　Ivy：Well．It's just a waste of time．Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on(专注于)their study．
